Campus Life
Darlington’s proven track record, with small classes and instructors who care, makes the difference in preparing students well for college. The beautiful campus, extensive facilities, and many academic, athletic, and social opportunities, combined with a friendly spirit, ensure that each Academy student is given the opportunity to succeed.
Boarding Life
Academy boarding students will be housed in one of the six houses on campus, three for boys and three for girls. Each house has a full-time head of house faculty member who receives assistance from numerous other Darlington faculty. This house system is the backbone of the family-like campus atmosphere at Darlington and it helps to develop strong, life-long student-faculty mentoring relationships. Fifty-five percent of the faculty live on campus.
Academic Life
Darlington School’s faculty and coaches are committed to helping each student manage his or her time to achieve success in the classroom and on the field. Parents can monitor their child’s progress daily through continuously updated grades and comments from instructors and coaches posted on each student’s secure Web page.
